“I am a Canadian, free to speak without fear, free to worship in my own way, free to stand for what I think right, free to oppose what I believe wrong, or free to choose those who shall govern my country. This heritage of freedom I pledge to uphold for myself and all mankind.” ~~ John G. Diefenbaker

Freeland resigns and West Vancouver - Sunshine Coast - Sea-to-Sky Country MP Patrick Weiler again calls on Trudeau to, "... step aside and allow the initiation of a leadership process"


"On Friday, you told me you no longer want me to serve as your Finance Minister. Upon reflection, I have concluded that the only honest and viable path is for me to resign from the Cabinet"~~ Chrystia Freeland.

That's the beginning of Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland's letter of resignation, as Finance Minister, to Justin Trudeau.

As one reads the rest, it is apparent that for quite some time, she has not been in agreement (one could almost say vehemently) with the economic policies of Justin Trudeau.

I think the last sentence of Freeland's letter of resignation from cabinet is very telling, as to her future plans:

"I look forward to continuing to work with my colleagues as a Liberal Member of Parliament, and I am committed to running again for my seat in the next federal election."

While 338 Canada has Freeland's University - Rosedale seat as a toss-up between her and the NDP, I'd have to think that what's she's done today (basically dumping Trudeau), will aid her in winning that riding come next election.

With Trudeau losing another cabinet minister yesterday (Housing Minister Sean Smith), and saying he will not run again, there is little left of Trudeau's backbench that's fit for ministerial roles. As support for Justin Trudeau, and the federal Liberal Party, has been steadily dropping (like a lead balloon), the number of MP's declining to run again, against all odds of winning, has steadily grown, and will continue to do so.

Additionally, another call from West Vancouver - Sunshine Coast - Sea-to-Sky Country MP Patrick Weiler calling on Trudeau to, "... step aside and allow the initiation of a leadership process" has all but doomed Trudeau. So much so it is very much a toss-up which party will become the official opposition; the Bloc ... the NDP ... or the Liberals. With disaster looming, they could actually fall to become the forth place party in the House of Commons.

With Freeland's resignation today, and with a major defeat coming up for the Liberal Party of Canada, I believe that will put her in the drivers seat, in a campaign to win the leadership of the party ...
... but first, she'll have to win her seat.

PECKFORD -- Authoritarian governments in our own time, from the Nazi period to the USSR, have crippled democracy and freedom and yet we have not learned

Just come right out and say it ... it’s China ... and it’s communist. So there ... I said it! And its a virus, the corona virus, that came from China — the China Virus. Oh, yah it has a fancy name —but this keeps it simple and identifies its origin. Imagine that!!! Of course, now that Trump has said it, he, being a virus to most China sensitive people (and that’ s just about everyone) none will say it now —- And the political correctness and hypocrisy of it all. The World Health Organization changed all that a few years ago and like sheep we all followed along. No more geographic naming —that’s an order —-George Orwell is turning over in his grave. Of course, this WHO is part of the UN that has a Human Rights Council full of human rights violators whose sole purpose in life is to bring resolutions against the only democracy in the Middle East. Nice civilized crowd don’t you think?? We all put up with this charade every day and conti...

Khadr played upon the democratic freedoms and rights that Canadian have

WELL I CERTAINLY STIRRED UP REACTION when my last post went online , as well as other comments, which were made online elsewhere.  People opposed, to what I had to say, had comments which included the following:   Okay, I'm f - - king sick of the idiocy and done with writing a diatribe every single time a friend posts about how they're upset that Trudeau is giving a terrorist $10m. ... You people are.... willfully ignorant and hypocritical .. ·          God help us. What’s next everybody is “packing”, burning crosses, and having segregated bathrooms.  This rhetoric is disturbing.  Canadians are better than this. My mind is in awe of the number of people who have no respect for what being tortured actually means. Who foolishly think that they wouldn't break ... If our governments are willing to trap and torture people on foreign soil then we h...
